Alicia
Not her real name, but 'Alicia' was the victim of serious domestic abuse. She fled her home and is now facing rebuilding her life. Alicia tells her story, and talks about a scheme run by homeless charity Wintercomfort, which really helped get her back on her feet. Alicia is joined by Elliot Harris from Overstream Clean. Music used in the interview is Freedom’s Fairytale for Girls by Flaming June.
